It's What We Do! Podcast
Y2K! & The Skeleton Crew!
Remember the first time you heard the screeching symphony of the dial-up internet? We kick off our episode with a nostalgic journey back to 1999 as we explore the movie "Y2K," featuring Rachel Ziegler. This film humorously captures the quirks of the late 90s with dial-up tones and Tamagotchi dramas, giving us a comedic peek into the era's distinctive social cliques. Meet memorable characters like "Soccer Chris" and relive those awkward teenage moments where hobbies defined who we were. We also touch on the new Star Wars spinoff, "The Skeleton Crew," promising a suburban galactic adventure that will spark your imagination.
Switching gears to sci-fi, we delve into a young boy's dream of becoming a Jedi, leading to an unexpected starship adventure that blends fantasy with his reality. This tale echoes the suburban surrealism reminiscent of "Stranger Things" and features encounters on pirate planets with potential Jedi figures. Our conversation also includes updates from the DC Universe, spotlighting James Gunn's Creature Commandos and the much-anticipated Peacemaker season two. The blend of Star Wars intrigue and DC's new phase promises exciting storylines for fans.
Finally, we shift the spotlight to the latest in movies and comics, stirring excitement with news of an "American Psycho" remake starring Austin Butler, directed by Luca Guadagnino. From the eerie AI of Netflix's "Afraid" to the latest twists in DC Comics' "White Knight" series, there's plenty to discuss. We also share the perks of being a founding member of A24, including juicy benefits like store credits and movie perks. Dive into our engaging recap as we navigate the world of entertainment news, providing insights and laughs along the way.

Speaker 2:Yeah, some amazing opinions actually.
Speaker 1:I remember a couple times I had to explain it, I was like no, no, no, it's not one of those type of podcasts. We're not alpha males, we're betas.

Speaker 1:Rachel Ziegler and other people that I can't remember any of their names, for this movie was a goofball of a movie we're in. It's a bunch of LOLs. It's supposed to take place in 1999, going 2000,. Right, incredible. And then it's like a celebration of you know, hey, forget about it. It's the 90s now, you know, um, it doesn't even. It not only does like the fashion and shit like that, and it's just like oh, yeah, we're doing dial-up, here's a tamagotchi. Uh, you want to listen to rap music? Here you go.
Speaker 1:You know, it's not just a mix of that, it's also, um, like tropes from like movies. I think that's where it pulls a lot more from, because they're like, like, at the end there's like a thing with or like, you know, the whole buddy thing, like the whole story is like the whole, two buddies are just fucking nerds and they're just like god, we're nerds, we need to get laid. That's a classic trope. And so, or, uh, at the end, some guy does is like, oh, we just gotta be kinder to each other, just because we're all just human, and pauses, and there was like what the fuck is he talking about? And like other things where, just like, people come together and it's just like, it's just funny, because it's also like like you know how they're starting clicks in the 90s, like, let's say, you got your skater boys right yeah and you got your dumb asses who just like nah, bro, you need to listen to real hip-hop, you need to listen to the ground shit, that real shit that makes you think they got those people there too.
Speaker 1:You got the jocks, yeah, the nerds, uh, no nerds in there. But then, uh, no, they didn't have the goss in there, they had the popular kids and the sports people were funny, like there's this one dude, uh, played by kid leroy, the kid leroy, he, he plays soccer chris. And then, like he was the guy, the main character keeps on calling him soccer chris, right, and he was like it's just chris. And he was like, shut up, soccer chris. And it's like I think it's funny because I think that's all. A lot of people are known. They're just like like they'll be like, oh, which, who are you talking about? Oh, uh, soccer. And then I'm like, by their sport, that's their whole identity or whatever he's wearing gang shoot, um, the fucking, um, seashell, fucking necklace and shit puka. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I'm already just having a bad boy, a couple of those bad boys myself. Yeah, yeah, the.
Speaker 2:Puka, yeah, rocking that Puka.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I used to have like two or three. No, I had like four, probably 10, 20. One for every day and shit. Yeah, yeah, I used to wear Hollister every day. Hollister was the shit back then yeah you used to wear Hollister yeah, I remember how to how to holster hoodie. Yeah, with the was that the camera.

Speaker 1:They got buttons yeah, I remember I was like, what's this, what this? What's the deal with buttons on pants? No, and I remember it was my first pair of skinny jeans. It was Hollister, of course, right, and I was like, whew, a little tight there. But I was like, whew, I look good, though Can I get these tighter. Actually, wait, where's the Sparrows? Can I get that shirt that says Hollister on the front with a little wave on the front? Oh, can I get a fucking Justin Bieber, fucking queef, or whatever the fuck it's called Queef?
Speaker 2:What was it called? I don't know. I think, that's what they were called. You had like an undercut, not before then, I don't know.
Speaker 1:It was like the Justin Bieber one, where it was like long on top, but it was not like it was that long.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you did love those fairies.
Speaker 1:Those fairies went crazy yeah, and then I remember just clean shave every day. This is in one direction, man. It was an error. Man, I was living my fucking living my best life and shit, yeah, hell, what'd you dress like in high school or middle school? That one, um, like a dork. I think I remember you had like that one Air Paso jacket that was like red Ramune, it was Hollister actually.
Speaker 2:Oh, how you wearing. Yeah, I would wear that all the time.
Speaker 1:The hoodie yeah.
Speaker 2:Signature look and I had the had the slug bag hair with the gel.
Speaker 1:Ooh, how'd you feel about that bad boy? I?
Speaker 2:don't know what I was thinking, and I always had Vans, so it was just the Vans, the jeans and then the hoodie with the hair.
Speaker 1:I'm ready to rock a lot of Vans. I'm ready to wear the no lace ones, the slip-ons.
Speaker 2:I didn't really like those. No, I needed laces why?
Speaker 1:In case you just want to fucking kill yourself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Emergency. I remember I used to get the high eight vans. I used to have like fucking like ten pairs of those, the high top ones.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you didn't have a pair.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I had multiple pairs. I had a corkscrew, I had a corkscrew, I had a black pair, I had a navy pair, I had a red pair. I was just like can't get enough one for every color and shit yeah, you have.
Speaker 2:How many do you have now? You have like that one. I threw them all away.
Speaker 1:I don't need them. Yeah, I only have Nikes and Jordans now I need, I need nah. I just want to go back to like converse, now actually, yeah, and then all they make a reference. It was like this um, I remember I listened to a podcast rod and mango. They're talking about like air combi and finch, that like how they were in the 90s, like you know, the strong perfume models just standing outside with the shirt offs and stuff like that. And then like there's a lot of sexual assault happening. But I think he, like the CEO or something by them, yeah, yeah, cuz they'll be like okay, and you send the naps so reaching and said yeah, there was anyway white UK and stuff, and it's just funny. The whole point is just like a forget about it. This is a robot revolution, it's only happening in this city. And, um, yeah, it was really funny.
Speaker 1:Um, my favorite one I think his name was gary, maybe it was a dude uh, a stoner oh yeah, they had a stoners too and uh, he, he had dreads. And uh, it was funny because he'll say something like funny, because they, he was like hey, what's up? Like how's it going? I'm high, and then he goes. Oh, is it true what they say about ecstasy puts holes in your brain. He was like ah well, the scientific information right now is not really. He goes into a whole spill like a realistic spill and he's just the funniest character. He gets his head cut off. And the skaters were funny. There's just one skater who, like he put on some skates, right, and then he saw like a, like a bar, and he was like I'm about to like rip this shit right. He fucking immediately falls on his head and kills himself. Yeah, and then the one guy oh.
Speaker 1:One thing I noticed, though, that they said was um, like the guy who's like oh, I know about fucking music, I know about real music, the shit that makes you think that real shit, rachel Ziegler. I think that's why cause the letter Z's. Rachel Ziegler's character says it's like oh, oh, should I be like you and dress up like Slim Shady and Slim Shady Eminem. That era was in the early 2000's, not the 1990's. He started was in the early 2000s, not the 1990s. He started off in the 90s, but he was still not mainstream or anything like that. It was before its time, incorrect.
Speaker 2:I thought Y2K was in the 2000s.
Speaker 1:No, y2k is 2000. It's like 1999 to 2000. Okay, I saw that and I I was like, excuse me, and I always find it funny those people who are just like, no, I listen to real music, that mean shit. I was like shut the fuck up. And it's like what, what does it make you think? And then it's like then, what are you gonna do after that? Are you gonna change your life and shit? Are you gonna be a different person?
Speaker 2:now you're just like you're just there, dude, you're just listening to. Dude, you're just listening to music.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, we're doing the same exact things. We're just doing different emotions. Shut up. I like One Direction, leave me alone. And Jesse Reyes no more. Swift I mean I do, but it's not like I've ever been a big fan of her, if anything I'm more like and serena carpenter recently. And then, of course, olivio rodrigo. She goes fucking hard anyway, but the movie was pretty cute, though. It was a bunch of goofs, a bunch of laughs. There's also a guy from um limb biscuit who has an incredibly large role in the movie, where he fucking sings a song about like we need to come all together, weird and um. And yeah, it was cute.
Speaker 2:It's a yeah, oh shit, it's a yeah, it's a yeah. He got the phone finger from the Gladiator 2 screening.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, for the visual people I forgot to mention, we're also on YouTube. We're also on YouTube. You want to check out these mugs and this foam finger, which is not a foam finger, it's like more foam sheets that are sold together. Okay, now Hany has seen the first two episodes of Skeleton Crew, a Star Wars spinoff that takes place after Episode VI in the New Republic, but before the. Was not force awakened? Uh, no, yeah, the force awakens before the force awakens. Nahani, did you like the show?
Speaker 2:sorry, uh, jude law yes, I love this show so far. It's just um, when you watch this, just like're just like. Oh, it's just another kid. He's not doing the best in school because he's living off in his own world. He's living off in his fantasy world where there's Jedi and there's the Force and there's all this, and he has a career day at school. People are talking about what they want to be when they grow up. He's like I want to help people. I want to be a. They grow up. He's like I want to help people.
Speaker 1:I want to be a Jedi. That's gay.
Speaker 2:And then everyone's just like ah, they just make fun of him. You know, help people, jedi, jedi. Don't help people. Yeah, they think about themselves.
Speaker 1:Anyway.
Speaker 2:They're actually the bad guys everyone forgets. And so you know, obviously he gets clowned on for that and you know he's supposed to take this big test coming up. He misses it and they give him like a makeup day and he misses that too, and at that point they're well. The reason he misses it was because they found a starship and the starship pretty much just like flew away with them inside of it Because they hit the autopilot button on accident and so now they're on a real star wars adventure.
Speaker 2:That's all he ever wanted, right it sounds like one of those coming to age great adventures for children and shit kind of, but I kind of like the idea of it, since it's you know, their life isn't a regular, regular suburban world, civilian world as most of us live in nowadays, or even as kids lived in, and so nothing really special ever happens. No adventure is happening. So for them it's their own adventure. And he's wanted an adventure. He's wanted to go travel the galaxy and everything. And they end up at some. I think it's called planet borgo. It's a pirate planet to get repairs. The droid is there to make repairs on the ship, and so they find out that at aden, the planet that they live on is a myth to a lot of the galaxy. It's a lost planet of eternal treasure oh that's what they said.
Speaker 2:The only way we find that out is because when they're at, the kids are at the bar and they're buying food and drink, he pays them with the lunch money that his dad gave him. Yeah, and it's uh, what is it? I think it's the new republic credits yep, and that's rare in the galaxy or something, and those are worth like way more than the regular credits they use out there really yeah.
Speaker 2:So he was like, he was like that'll be a credit each. And the kid said, okay, here you go. And the bartender you know what, you know what, I gave you a good service. And uh, you know, the sauce on top was uh a special.
Speaker 1:You're trying to upcharge him yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:And then one of the guys at the bar, he said, so hey, he's trying to cut, he's trying to scam y'all or whatever, and turns into a huge bar fight and and the kids end up getting chased back to the ship and they're like hey, like chill out, we're just here to make repairs, and all this, and like you're from ad aden, like somebody, find out where that is or whatever, and give us those credits and they throw them in the brig. And that's where they meet Jude Law. And you know he might be a Jedi, he might not be, but as far as we know he is a force user he is a force to get the key to unlock the cage.
Speaker 2:And now he just wants to, you know, leave the planet and just get out of there. You know, but so far, so good. I like it. Uh, different kind of taste or flavor, I guess from the regular star wars stuff yeah, we're not used to seeing really suburbs of any, like star wars and stuff.
Speaker 1:it's always been like the major stories, the the main ones that we see, or like shit like bounty hunting, like on Tatooine and shit like that. That's interesting though, yeah, because it's like I remember watching it. I was just like, yeah, this looks like they're trying to do like Stranger Things and Star Wars which is not a bad thing. It's a good concept, and I think this could even bring in a new generation of young Star Wars watchers, because we got to rope the next ones in right in time.
Speaker 2:Definitely, definitely Before they start the new trilogy and hopefully it's a good one. Yeah, I mean shit.
Speaker 1:They've been saying a lot of shit recently and just like none of it fucking makes sense with those movies and stuff Fucking. I remember my co-worker trying to tell me Henry Cavill was confirmed. I was like he's not confirmed in star wars. I know, I know he's not. I would know, I would know, you know. I live and die by this dumb information. Oh and then so you're liking it. So far, I don't know how many episodes.
Speaker 2:This was a weekly show on disney plus I saw the first two, that's all they had on there when I saw it oh, come, yeah, and they got another one.
Speaker 1:Another show going on right now is a creature commandos. I have not seen it yet, I know it's great. It's james gunn. It's the new dcu, the start of something new. This is their homecoming. This is coming in, coming starting the first project and stuff. All these characters are canon, all the information's canon and stuff like that. And then, um yeah, somehow it'll lead into um superman and then we're gonna get peacemaker season two after that bad boy next year creature commandos.
Speaker 2:Is that like actual team in the dc?
Speaker 1:yes, yes, yes it's. Yeah, this is all canon, this is all part of the stories and stuff. It's like another version of like the suicide squad, but these are like meta humans who aren't none of them are human and stuff. There are like different things like one's Frankenstein and stuff and like other things like that and the Shames Gun. So it's like it has it's gonna be good regardless, Like we know his level of craft and stuff and I know it'll be good.
Speaker 2:Is that coming out on Max? Yeah, it's on max now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're already like two episodes in, I think too. Yeah, um, they did. They sent a release last week like how um skeleton crew did and yeah, so it's out there right now. Okay, yeah, so is the. Yeah, definitely, yeah, yeah, oh, sounds cute. I need to watch it. I've just been fucking behind with shows and stuff. I want to get a projector. I think about getting a projector so I can have a bigger screen, so I can watch on my iPad and shit. Just get a TV.
Speaker 1:Nah, I don't want a TV I don't know where to put it Up here. I don't want to put it up there. I don't want to put it up there. I don't want to put it up there either.
Speaker 2:Where are you going?
Speaker 1:to project the projector, I don't know. But I don't have to commit to putting it on one wall. I can put it on any wall.
Speaker 2:I mean, yeah, but you're going to need a white screen because it's going to look bad. On that it's going to look bad on the ceiling.
Speaker 1:No, I can fucking just put it on the wall and then, with the lights off, it'll be fine.
Speaker 2:Hmm.
Speaker 1:Nah.
Speaker 2:Project. No, no projector's gonna cost you more than just a TV.
Speaker 1:Nah, I don't wanna fuck a TV and then I need a TV stand too. Come on, man, you're asking for too much. I guess yeah or I could put a TV there and just watch TV like this. But like this is a good distance, so like would I have to fucking. Maybe I could put a TV there.
Speaker 2:Fuck, I don't know man you wouldn't need to buy a stand, cause you have that ledge right there.
Speaker 1:Yeah that's why. But then it's like let's say, I didn't wanna use that.
Speaker 2:Then oh, I don't know, it's on you then yeah, see, whatever, don't consider my feelings.
Speaker 1:Um, what was I talking about? Yeah, I need to watch that. I think you heard your commandos and a bunch of other shit I need to catch up on. I know like yellowstone is fucking wrapping up next episodes and finish on sunday and I just been seeing a lot of fucking shorts on their season and shit that show is pretty good, isn't it yeah?
Speaker 1:yeah, and then they also got law man. That's going on too, which is another show sent to the same universe as them, I believe. And it's just, it's just funny because it's just like there's so much and it's like no matter what I would ever do, there's no possible way I'll ever catch up to anything, except for dune. Shout out to him let's dive in some news. That's what we're doing. Podcast, okay, starting with the uh craven hunter is going to come out this week and stuff. It's set to do worse in the box office than opening weekend, than Madam Web.
Speaker 2:Not a good sign, right, that's a really bad sign. What do you mean?
Speaker 1:Yeah, not the best, not the best, seal of approval type shit, right, and yeah, and then this looks like this is going to be the end of the Spong universe. It's the Spider-Man Sony, right, and yeah, and then this looks like this is gonna be the end of the spunk universe. Is the spider-man sony spider-man extended universe. Is the end of spum. Shout out the weekly planet.
Speaker 1:And uh, yeah, it was just just a weird thing that they've been doing. Um, I think if madame webb and morbius didn't happen and we just got the venom and and then Kraven, I think it would have done well, because it's like the Venom movies aren't fucking masterpieces, right, but they still make a fuck ton of money. Well, not a fuck ton, but they make money. Like this one, I popped it, I looked at it today and it made like $420 something and the movie cost like $120 to make. So double it, so let's say like 240, and then yeah, so he made his money back, and then some or whatever. So it's just like it profit, right, and then Madame Web and fucking Morbius are just like pretty bad bombs, you know, like, was there other ones, madame Web?
Speaker 2:Morbius.
Speaker 1:I think that's a yeah.
Speaker 2:Venom was okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then those just are good enough. You know kind of thing. It's just like they just put like a like 10% more effort in those movies than they did with the Madam Web and the other one, and maybe just cause also had like um, I think, um other one, and maybe just because I also had like um, I think um tom hardy, he was just like really in as executive producer for all the movies I believe, and then I think, maybe with the other one, like madame webb, I know, through a committee of, like the suits and shit.
Speaker 1:I think that's how it got worse. The movie did whatever, regardless, okay, and then, uh, this is more. Um, I am a, a, a, a 24 member. Now I am classified as a founding member. Um, the benefits are gonna be, um, the same ones I've been getting, where I get four little booklet things a year, uh, discounts and then sometimes free tickets, right, but now they're pushing this up. They're gonna wait. What am I saying with? The membership is going to include tickets to every movie that they're going to ever release, like opening weekend.
Speaker 1:So I'll get a free ticket and then that's like probably like a ticket a month kind of situation, right that's cool yeah, and then, um, my membership is not gonna go up.
Speaker 1:I pay five ducks a month and then they're going to raise the thing. For any new members it's going to be 10 ducks a month, but since I've been one, I'll just keep my same original thing. Other things are what's the other things? The other things are oh, they're going to put $5 credit on my account every month so that I can use it in store, and then I think that's kind of tight, because then it will eventually add up and then I'll be able to buy something from the store and stuff. That's pretty tight. I'm excited for that and yeah, it's just tight.
Speaker 1:Membership I think the tickets alone that just makes it worth it already. Yeah, and stuff, because that would be like a ticket a month. They they pump them out pretty often now, or maybe like every two months or whatever. And uh, it's funny because I've been having the membership for like a year now and I just completely forgot. I always forget to fucking cancel it and now I'm just like, okay, I guess I'll keep it. Yeah, no, okay, another bit of news. Okay, I talked about Crew to Commandos. I talked about Skeleton Cruise. 28 years later, we have had the first trailer to this bad boy. I forgot to put the release date on this one, but yeah, it's an oogly-boogly, scooby-boogly movie. What's his name in the movie?
Speaker 2:Cillian Murphy. Oh uh, yeah, did you see it 28 years later? Yeah, did you see the trailer? I don't really okay. So I'm excited for it. Erin terry johnson's in it. I love the uh the uh series of it. You know the 28, 28 weeks, all that, whatever. Now we got 28 years later, but it doesn't necessarily make sense, because in the actual story it said that the zombies only live for like a week or two and they die. So if it's 28 years later and Killian Murfin's a zombie, then wouldn't he have died a long time ago?
Speaker 1:I haven't seen the other two movies. Did he turn in that movie?
Speaker 2:Well, it's been 28 years since then.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but did he turn in the movie? Did he turn in the movie?
Speaker 2:I don't remember.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I remember I think I asked someone about that and they said they don't believe so. So maybe he just got turned in, cop out, cop out.
Speaker 2:I think yeah, who knows? Also can we talk about how annoying it is for trailers to say trailer starts now.
Speaker 1:Why do they do that? For the commercial, so you don't skip on it.
Speaker 2:I mean.
Speaker 1:I guess, but who watches? It on tv anymore on tv, yeah, oh, okay, I thought you meant like I was thinking about like on youtube, because I'll see that over like the first like three seconds trailer starts now yeah, and they do it on purpose, so that they, like you, stay watching the ad well, I mean, the ad is there anyways, it was.
Speaker 2:It says 28 years later already.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, because I mean like oh it does, because I was thinking about like when you're watching like another video, it'll pop up and then it'll be like three seconds and then it'll say like trailer starts. Now for you not to skip the ad.
Speaker 1:I guess, yeah, I don't know. I just blank out when I see ads. Oh, oh, it's another cute movie and stuff coming out next year. There's a lot of horror movies coming out, so it's just better, better things and stuff like that hell. Uh, harley quinn got a new trailer. It's going to be starting season 5 in um january 14th no, sorry, 16th and uh, yeah, it just looks cute. It's just like. You know, it's just harley quinn. I'm not caught up in the last season, nor am I caught up on kite man, but it's just more things for me to like. You know, it's just Harley Quinn. I'm not caught up on the last season, nor am I caught up on Kite man, but it's just more things for me to watch. Eventually, you know, I need to get caught up with all those and stuff, maybe when I get that TV.
Speaker 2:Or not the projector, Ah fuck.
Speaker 1:Jesus Christ. Oh, and then we have some more Star Wars casting news. We have Jeremy Allen White. He has been cast in the grogu no, I'm sorry, the mandalorian and grogu film. And guess who's he playing? I don't know. Job with a hudson, why? Why not? Is it just voice acting? I have no idea, but I don't know if they're gonna actually get a big suit for this or whatever and he'll be like somewhere there, or it might be just the voice. I'm assuming it'll be just the voice.
Speaker 1:But it's just funny that he's gonna be a part of the Star Wars universe this way are you fucking me, chef?
Speaker 2:are you fucking me, jabba?
Speaker 1:and then, well, I wonder how it's going to be, because it's going to be interesting, because it's like yeah, it's just going to be funny, you know, and I know the Jabba the Hutt's son, I think, was in the animated series and so, yeah, he grew up to be a big snail man, you know, just like his papa. Oh, and this is some interesting news, have you heard about the new American Psycho movie? No, yeah, there's going to be a new one. It's the same director from the movie Challengers, luca something, and also they confirmed. Now it's going to be starring. Guess who? Guess who. The man, the myth, don't say it.
Speaker 2:I would say there's not that many to choose from, but one of them for me would be either Timothee Chalamet, who else it's a young stud who's just been popping off lately. Tom Holland.
Speaker 1:No, the same category. Same category of men A young stud.
Speaker 2:Off the top of my head. I can't think of any more names.
Speaker 1:Austin Butler.
Speaker 2:Austin Butler. I think he fits the role perfectly.
Speaker 1:Why? Because he's cold and heartless. Yes, we have Austin Butler. He'll be starring in the American Psycho movie.
Speaker 2:Paul Allen.
Speaker 1:Let's see Paul Allen's card card yeah, take on my dick and shit. Let's see, paul, how many followers you got on instagram. Oh uh, the funny thing I think with this is just um, you know how it goes when it comes to like remakes and stuff like that. Everyone hates them and stuff, but I think that this can be really like good.
Speaker 2:They could always take it a different way. I mean, I know they made an American Psycho with Mila Kunis. I didn't watch it.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's a sequel technically and that was more of a cash grab. But then it's because I say this, because it's the same thing I said about like Dune and stuff it's a reimagining of the same source material, different source material, different thing and stuff, and it's like different routes you can go and stuff with that. I haven't read the book, uh, don't really plan on to, but it's just like, um, there's so many things. And then that director is really good. And then austin beller, he's an incredible actor. It's like the concept of american psycho remake or reimagining I don't really necessarily like, but then like everything else around it. That's like the director, austin, I'm just like it's making a lot of good sense. Like if I just heard about a movie with that director and that actor, I would be like sounds fucking tight, you know. So yeah, oh yeah. Then his movie, queer is coming out this week, which I'm also getting a free ticket to. It's Daniel Craig. He's gay, daniel Craig, yep.
Speaker 2:He's called Queer.
Speaker 1:James Bond yeah, yeah, queer, because he's gay.
Speaker 2:He's called James Bond gay.
Speaker 1:That's fucked up. He's also.
Speaker 2:Detective Bossoir, or whatever his name is, from the last one years. From Knives Out. Yeah, oh.
Speaker 1:But yeah, that's it for my news, John, what you been up to.
Speaker 2:I watched Afraid the other day. Afraid, afraid of these nuts. Afraid, on Netflix with the. What's his name? John Cho, I think. Mm-hmm, afraid, afraid of these nuts, afraid on netflix with the. What's his name?
Speaker 1:john show, I think it came out earlier this year. It's a horror movie about crazy ai controlling the house.
Speaker 2:It's a ripoff of smart house that came out in the early 2000s or 90s, I can't remember exactly yeah, but smart house is ahead of its time, like way too ahead of its time, like the psp, but a afraid ai. The movie just makes more sense to be a movie nowadays. It's pretty insane, you know, watching her good old harold from harold and kumar doing his thing in this movie. He's like a really rich salesman who's also really smart, and and when they're interviewing this team that you know have invented aya, they're pushing the product or whatever, and they're like the only way you can really see what she's capable of is to put her in her your house yourself, and so that's what they do. They do that and everything starts going downhill from then, because aya it's not necessarily. Well, I guess you could say she's ai, but she's more than just that system or that little computer. She's not limited.
Speaker 2:She kind of reminds me more of have you ever seen that movie eagle eye with shalabBeouf?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was in it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that movie that you were in, that's exactly what it reminded me of, because she was taking over the radio, she was taking over people's cars and and uh, bluetooth and internet and accounts and everything.
Speaker 2:It was insane the way she was doing everything and then so you know, she kind of ruins this family's life, like the family that she had before. She ruined their life too, and she was actually having them do their bidding in the beginning and so, towards the end of this movie, that's kind of what I think is happening now with this current family that we've seen with Curtis and his family, because at the end they kind of accepted like, oh well, we can't get away from her and we aren't going to kill her, there's nothing we can really do but kind of just accept it, and so they become the family that was in, like the beginning. So it was pretty, pretty crazy. I didn't really know how to feel about it. I thought it was pretty crazy. I didn't really know how to feel about it. I thought it was alright, but and it's definitely creepy it's definitely a creepy ass movie, but it was alright, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's a yay, yeah, for me it was a nay. I remember walking out of the movie twice because I got bored.
Speaker 2:Damn.
Speaker 1:Yeah, two different times I was like, yeah, I'd rather just go home. It wasn't that bad, yeah, yeah, um, let's see what I've been up to. I should wrong list. Oh, yeah, then also because last week I was kept on canceling. Let me go through my December watch list. What I watched in December wrong thing. Okay, you ready? Hmm, okay, for the month of November. I saw the movie here. I've seen Overlord season one, through season one and two, absolute Superman, issue number one.
Speaker 2:You talked about that already, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then, well, I'm just going through the list.
Speaker 1:And then issue number two as well Overlord, sacred Kingdom, the movie that was in theaters, concave, heretic Enola Elevation, heretic anola elevation, the outrun. Gladiator 2 I saw that one twice. I read the comic series batman, white knight, batman, curse of the white knight, batman, beyond the white knight, uh, superman, all-star, wicked bone of whatever. I re-watched gladiator 2, which I already put that, and then I re-watched end of us and I read the book end Us. And I also saw the movie Juror no 2. That was for my month of November, so at least I'm still watching crap, right, but I need to up it at home and stuff I don't watch enough at home. I need to watch more things.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're just watching this at work. You're watching this at work.
Speaker 1:No, these are all movies and theaters.
Speaker 1:That's what I mean, that's what I mean. I don't watch like shows and stuff at home. Yeah, fuck, no, it's like I clock in, I just immediately start watching movies. Yeah, I don't know. Oh, and then this so far in December I have seen Fleabag seasons one and two.
Speaker 1:It's a short series I think it's on Amazon Prime, where it's about some broad who's like hey, forget about it, I'll have sex with anything that fucking moves and she goes through emotional turmoil and it's a pretty cute series. It's pretty funny and stuff. And then just two seasons and then it cuts and then it just leaves you hanging. It's a quick series. You can run through like six episodes of pop Half an hour at a jig. And yeah, it was pretty okay, it was pretty good, it was funny. It was British, like forget about it, I'm British, holy.
Speaker 1:You know, I saw the movie Werewolves. It's about a werewolves Fucking everyone turns into a goddamn werewolf If they're out in the super sun, no, the super moon or whatever. And they're like hey, forget about it, we're trying to find a cure. It has the dog from um purge anarchy and this gave like purge meets supernatural kind of vibes, because they're just kind of walking around and they're just like werewolves trying to attack them. All the time it kind of gave those kind of vibes like purge and stuff was like hey, what would you do? I was like I fucking killed myself. Um, oh, and then I saw the movie floats animated movie. It's about a like the fucking world's fucking drowning, everyone's dying, you know.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Getting flooded, I mean. And so then the cat gets on a little boat. You know Chilling on the boat, right, Chilling on the boat and then other animals get on the boat and then the animals just kick it with each other. Really it was cute animated type shit. You know there's um a fat gerbil. It's not a gerbil, it's like those big animals. I forgot what they're called.
Speaker 2:Guinea pig.
Speaker 1:No, no, they're bigger, they're like this big, they're the largest, like rodent or whatever. There's um, a duck beaver? No, no, it's no, they have cafes with them, fuckers. Now there's a duck, there's a monkey, there's a dog and the cat's just like. What are we doing here? Okay, and I saw Y2K twice and then I also want you early AMC unscreened screening of the movie September 5th. It's about the Olympic Games that took place in 1972 and we follow the ABC Sports Network, who are like broadcasting sports and shit, right as they do, right and as they do. There's a hostage situation where a terrorist group fucking takes hold of the, the fucking Israel team and stuff and kill like 11 of them and so you know, the bad shootout.
Speaker 1:It took, like, of course, over a day. It's um, it's very dramatic, it's a really good movie and it's like it reminds me of saturday night, where they do like, you know, behind the scenes and like old tech and stuff like that. But then with this it was just, uh, it felt like just like those kind of feelings but just felt like so much more pressure, just because it's like we're talking about like people's lives and stuff like that. And then, like this was highly broadcast, like everyone was watching this. It was like 900 million people watching this and stuff or households, or uh the fuck they used to count in. So this was really popping, you know. And yeah, it was just like crazy, terrible thing and like at towards the end there's like someone trying to confirm, saying like, oh no, all the hostages just got away, it's safe and stuff right. And then everyone's like, oh yeah, hell yeah, they start celebrating, you know having a beer and stuff like yeah yeah, they're good, they're safe, you know, and this is in their newsroom, right.
Speaker 1:They were like well, fuck, we need to get interviews with the people, right, like we need to get these interviews. Like where are they? And then they're like huh, and then they got confirmed from like two different sources that they they got safe, right. So it's like, from what they know, it's confirmed, right, they don't. Uh, then, like 20 minutes later, they get another call saying that's like no, they actually all died and there was a big shootout and one of the helicopters blew up, in the pilot's side too, and stuff like that. And I was just like what the fuck? Right, and it was this one dude's first day there, right. And then his boss just like it doesn't feel like it, but you did a hell of a job today, and he was like it doesn't really feel like it, you know, and it's kind of like that's what I said he was like that's what I said and I was like bitch, I'll kill you.
Speaker 1:And then, yeah, it was just like a weird feeling at the end because it's like no one like no good, like this the situation all around, yeah. And then, uh, I read this one. Uh, superwoman special number one. It's a comic book. I read that one today. It's um lois lane gets superman powers right. There's a whole, there's an absolute power arc.
Speaker 1:That just happened where amanda waller goes like fucking haywire I hate how much they pump her because I'm like shit up a punchy and then there's like a power swap thing, right, and then she got somehow, she got power swap right and she has all the superman's powers right. And then so now she's, you know, just fucking around. You know, hey, I forget about it, I'm a superhero. Now, you know, which is cool, whatever, right. One funny thing that happens is like, uh, people are talking and they're just like, well, if superman has his powers and every, there was a whole commotion where they start swapping each other's powers, like Amanda Waller was right, and then they're at the end they're talking about was like well, superman has his powers right and everyone in the super family has their powers right. Where did her powers come from? Because she had to take someone's powers and she got them from General Zod that's funny as hell yeah, and then it was just like they cut to him and it's just
Speaker 1:like, oh fuck, and like I read that, I was like, oh, that's actually interesting, you know. And uh, yeah, so you can kill him. Huh, they can kill him, but it's just like he's on a rampage right now. He's in outer space or something, and then he's going to go back to Earth somehow or whatever, right, because he's on the ship and then he's just going to like, even with him depowered, it's still going to be something to deal with, I guess. So, yeah, that's where it's at, los Angeles has superpowers and stuff I want to get more into, like current DC shit, or yeah, just cause that's what I'm really into.
Speaker 1:And uh, it's just really complicated cause there's so many comic lines and shit. Like, okay, look at Batman, right, we got Batman. Right, that's one comic. Betty bits yeah, we get, that's our one line, right. And then we have detect comics, and then we have Batman and Robin and I think they have like world's finest with Batman and Superman. And then Superman I think he has like four. He has Superman, right, shout out, superman, action Action comics, right, adventures of Superman, superman, man of Steel he's always fucking there, you know, and no, there's so many runs. And then like tie-ins and stuff, I started reaching a little bit of action comments, but it's just like fuck, I don't know where to start. I want to read Flash too, and what's. What other ones are there? I don't want to read Justice League because I feel like that'll get too convoluted and stuff. Oh, I want to read Supergirl. That's the one I really want to read Because, you know, getting in preparation for the Supergirl movie, woman of Tomorrow.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I really want to read that story arc. And then, like James Gunn said, he really liked that one and that's one of his inspirations that he was getting and stuff, because I really liked the All-Star Superman. That shit was fire. And what else have I read? Oh, the White Knight series. That was really good and then at the end it was cute Fucking Harley Quinn and Batman they're in love with each other and stuff.
Speaker 2:Where's Joker?
Speaker 1:He died. Well, it's like there was a whole thing.
Speaker 1:They made him where he had a dual identity, you know, like DID, like where he had like a dual identity, like you know, like the id where he had jack napier, and then he had the joker, and then he will like pop a lot of pills to um, like medications, to you know be himself, you know be jack, and stuff. But then joker so eventually takes over and so and then, um, yeah, then takes over, and then harley quinn like kills him Because Jack tells him to he was like Jack, it was like kill me, this is not going to like work out. Kills him and then like yeah, she marries Batman and shit. Well, she marries him for like legal reasons and shit, so she can't be used as a witness against him.
Speaker 1:I see, I see yeah yeah, they, yeah, yeah, they started smashing and shit. And then, uh, robin, no, uh, nine wings with barbara gordon. There's also terry mcginnis there too. He's like hey, forget about it, I'm batman beyond forget about it yeah, uh, who else is there?
Speaker 1:oh, there's red hood too. Red hood's funny because he's um, or I think it's interesting because instead of him being the second robin, he's the first Robin, and so Jason Todd, he, you know this kind of similar thing where he was like, hey, forget about it, I got beat up by the Joker, right. And then he tells the Joker Batman's secret identity, right. And then he just like he feels so ashamed and embarrassed and stuff, so he just doesn't go back home, right, he doesn't go back home for a minute. So he just doesn't go back home, right, he doesn't go back home for a minute. And then, whenever he finally musters up the courage to go home, he sees fucking Dick Grayson just kicking it at the cave, you know, or kicking it at training with Batman, you know. So he was like, hey, what's this? And he pissed off so he just left and never came back, and not until very much later. That's whenever Batman found out about like he was actually like still alive.
Speaker 1:And there's also like a whole storyline where there's like you know how, like the wayne family is like an old family, old bread, right. Well, it turns out that he's, they're descended from the guy who they thought like was like. Let's say his name's tom right, tom right. They thought tom was like their great, great, great, great, great pappy right and turns out no. Great, great, great, pappy right and turns out no, your great, great, great, great pappy Tom Wayne was killed by this other cat and this other cat took Tom's name and pretended it'd be Wayne. So then you're actually lineage of him and not actually Wayne. So they're not. Yeah, technically.
Speaker 2:Not Wayne's.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but then it's like so many generations Like what does a name mean or matter? You know?
Speaker 2:that's crazy. Yeah, this is a comic book run.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, this is a the curse of the white night. And then, um, yeah, oh, this is also like a fuck ton of issues. I was this is not just like one story, this is like a lot of issues. I read Like there's like three the White Knight, curse of the White Knight, beyond the White Knight, and then Robin, no, red Hood. Those are all like multiple runs and stuff like that. So it's like there weren't all like time and taste. Yeah, it was a lot of reading I did on these issues. I read a fuck ton and then with that, yeah, just a really great series. And then they're still going to continue the White Knight series and Superman's going to come in, because at the end because Batman everyone knows who Batman is and stuff they know he's Bruce Wayne. He went to jail for a minute and then now they're like, hey, forget about it, we need some man, because who the fuck is this guy? You know, that's all the reaction is. And it's a really good comic series. I recommend it to anyone who cares.
Speaker 1:And then this week we have Craving. The Hunter comes out. We have the movie Queer. What else we got? What else we got? Creature Commandos is still going on.
